This Epstein thing has his malignant narcissism dialed up to 10.

Every day there are multiple instances of blatant corruption. Our government policy is for sale to the highest bidder and every bad actor in the world knows it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/w...

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Operation Change The Topic From Epstein

These Megan Kelly clips are pretty good proof that a lot of people have gotten much much much worse over the last 10 years

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

After Ghislaine Maxwell lied to Todd Blanche, someone waived her sex offender status and moved her to Club Fed with "OUT" custody - allowing her to work outside the prison walls. 3 months ago, I got her Bureau of Prisons points screen as proof. We still don't know who approved all this.

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

Speaking of Witches of Eastwick (as we were in the Updike thread), my most crackpot theory is that The Shining ruined Jack Nicholson. Before The Shining, he was a great actor with a lot of range. After The Shining, he just played guys who leered and shouted "HEEEREE'S JOHNNYYYYY"

fuck this genocidal administration the fascist boiling of the frog continues

The appointment of garland destroyed Biden's presidency and legacy. Any chance we had at consequences for the guilty and normalcy for us were thrown away with that appointment.

I remind you that Robert Acost knew all of this shit and covered it up. Jeff Sessions knew all of this shit and covered it up. Bill Barr knew all of this shit and covered it up. Merrick Garland knew all of this shit and covered it up. Pam Bondi knew all of this shit and covered it up.

When Megan Kelly defends men for being into “barely legal types”, she means she doesn’t care if they’re raping barely ILLEGAL underage girls. They are still minors.

i have listened to the megyn kelly interview in which she downplays the statutory rape of teenagers and it is my opinion that she should be tried by a jury of her peers and sentenced to death by the state, which should be carried out in a humane manner

Valve just announced three new, exciting, entertainment-related pieces of hardware without mentioning AI one time and it felt like the ad version of touching grass

A great example of how when you give the bully any daylight, they will go for the sun. The number of people who have believed this admin was operating in good faith and they were just making moderate concessions only to find the admin won't back down when they smell blood is shocking. Peak naivete.

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ. It's a surreal--and troubling--read. drive.google.com/file/d/1Is6x...

Sounds like a cool BGM track for "The Adventures of Pete and Pete". Ngl this is legitimately brilliant.

So there’s a lawyer going around BlueSky right now responding to everyone talking about the Anthropic book settlement by (1) urging people to opt out and (2) saying that they are representing authors who are opting out.

The ABA rule gives this as an example of something that would violate the rule. (Second photo is to continue the alt text).

I personally think that this conduct would seem to violate the rule, particularly since this appears to be the lawyer himself speaking.

Whether people want to explore opt outs (which is truly up to you) is fine. But I personally would not choose an attorney whose conduct seems to be…um… yeah.

Bluesky Safety: we have suspended Patton Oswalt for saying "pedophiles are bad." This is against are terms of service

New hip insult you'll be hearing everywhere soon: "Was this made by Al?" Especially effective when mentioned while watching a film (especially a big budget one) or listening to the new release of a song (preferably by a big pop star).

It is my birthday, please celebrate according to tradition: as a skeleton screaming for 30 seconds

I would cap three minutes of the bully that terrorized Elon Musk in high school and then let that AI call him every day.

Calling this a "gaffe" is the #BrokenTimes' way to dismiss and forgive the right-wing defense of a white supremacist. Credulity in the excuse of racism is racism. In Explaining His Gaffe, Heritage Foundation Leader Pleads Ignorance www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

I thought the earlier news from A&M was bad, but this is incredibly bleak. It’s close to the point of not having a functional university.

you can dislike bluesky all you want but you’d never find here the kind of sociopathic, deranged stuff people freely post on twitter. you open that app and before long something will sudden flash before your eyes that could easily be the worst thing you’ve ever read

UPDATE — With Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Chair Emerita of the Congressional Progressive Caucus), there are now at least 12 congressional Democrats, 15 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 8 Democratic candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

I say it over and over again: when you have that much money, you want to live where you want to live and you are simply not going to relocate because of marginal tax rates Alan Dershowitz will never leave Martha’s Vineyard and they won’t even sell him a pierogi

The Epstein case against Trump is as if everyone is looking at a 500 piece puzzle with 2 pieces missing and pretending they can't make out the picture for certain.

So, skeptical of a screen shot from Twitter, I went through and translated his actual speech myself and it goes WAY HARDER THAN THE SCREEN SHOT SUGGESTS he mixes in the history of Colombia into the drug cartels and Bernie Moreno into Jeffrey Epstein, it's wild, wild stuff

Osama bin Laden's carcass is smiling up from hell at Trump's welcome of Ahmed al-Shara, who was a member of Syria's al-Qaeda and just removed from the U.S. terrorist watch list, to the White House--on America's Veteran's Day. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-s...

Man who bragged about overturning Roe who shared a "wonderful secret" with Jeffrey Epstein "joking" with Syria's former terrorist leader about how many wives he had is no joke to every freedom-loving American and Syrian woman.

The New York Times reported on Thursday that the memo was written by the Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel, and is about 40 pages long. The report indicates that it "contradicts" experts in several ways, like suggesting the strikes are in response to an armed conflict.
